Justin Bieber's representatives, while speaking to TMZ, confirmed that he is not using drugs after recently sparking concerns among his fans regarding his health. A clip of the singer stepping out in Los Angeles with his wife, Hailey Bieber, went viral on the internet after fans pointed out allegedly concerning behavior. Fans pointed out that Bieber was clutching his pants before leaning over and shifting his weight from side to side.
As he posed for photos with Hailey, netizens noted that the singer had a blank expression. After numerous users expressed worry for the singer, his representative set the record straight by confirming that he is not under the influence of drugs,
"The recurring narrative that Justin is using hard drugs is absolutely not true."
The rep added that the past year has been
"very transformative for him as he ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him."
As per the rep, Bieber is prioritizing his marriage, fatherhood, and music and feels drained by the speculations since he finds the reports are
"exhausting and pitiful and show that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive."
